...only gleam of hope for Kirkland rooters came early in the opening stanza, when a Deacon quick-kick bounced off Dick Muessel's hand and into the end zone, where it was covered for two quick points. The final scoring came similarly in the last quarter when Bob Adams broke through to block a Deacon kick. In the end-zone scramble, he fell over the back line for two more points.

He invented the most uninspiring political slogan of an era-"inevitability of gradualness"-and gave it to the Fabian Society, the gleam-in-the-eye which fathered the British Labor Party.

Their crowning work was the 1,174-page Soviet Communism: a New Civilization, which was the most detailed study of the Soviet Government in English, and which completely missed the point...
